Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1779 1778 [The break between the detective and the police]

Jiang Xia lowered his head and glanced at his phone. Maybe it was because this commendation meeting was related to him and was foreshadowed by the previous live broadcast. After the incident, many people were sending him messages, expressing condolences or asking about the situation. Even if the news about Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan comes, it will be difficult for him to see it in time.

Of course, for some reason, I don’t really want to see it…

Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko proudly gestured to the female secretary: "Thanks to this lady - I guessed that Conan ran away with you. There were too many messages from you and I couldn't contact you. Fortunately, the secretary processed the messages quickly and gave me We sent your location."

Conan was carried away by Mao Lilan and struggled unwillingly: "..."...There must be something wrong with this female secretary! Otherwise why bother yourself!

Jiang Xia looked at their retreating figures and sighed: "..." It seems that tonight will be a lonely night. It's a pity that this room is too small, otherwise we should find a way to keep Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko - four is such a wonderful number, they can play cards together for a night.

Unfortunately, in the end, he could only watch the three classmates gradually walk away.

The female secretary was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Xia's expression: "Are you worried that you will be lonely if you stay here alone?" Well, come to think of it, she is still a high school student after all.

"..." Jiang Xia's expression returned to normal, "No, I'm just worried that it won't be safe for them to go back so late."

The female secretary smiled understandingly and looked at her watch: "Although I have to leave soon, the doctor is still conducting an autopsy on Senator Takada. I can stay with you for a while and wait until the results are available before I leave."

Jiang Xia looked back at her and said: "..." What's the use of staying with you? You don't have the physique to do anything...

The female secretary did not notice the detective's hidden dislike.

She went to look at the small refrigerator in the corner and took out a bottle of juice: "Actually, there is some good wine on ice here, but it's a pity that you can't drink it yet. Let's try the juice today."

She took a cup and put it on the table, unscrewing the juice and pouring it in.

Matsuda Jinpei was counting the aloe-flavored murderous auras at the side, but when he heard the bottle being opened, the tips of his ears suddenly twitched.

It put down its murderous intent, floated to the side of the plastic bottle, took a closer look, touched its chin, and then floated back to Jiang Xia thoughtfully - something wasn't right with the sediment underneath. There seemed to be something in the bottle of drink.

Having doubts, the ghosts floated over and circled around the bottle, and actually found a pinhole near the mouth of the bottle.

It must have been freshly brewed not long ago, because the juice looks quite fresh.

Jiang Xia stared at the bottle of juice: "..." If I remember correctly, the only person the murderer wanted to kill at the banquet was indeed Representative Takada, and President Ishimoto was just a victim who was pushed out as a cover.

He originally thought that tonight would be a pretty boring night, but he didn't expect that it would be different from what he remembered. Wouldn't tonight be as boring as imagined?

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Xia lowered his head and found that it was the Mumu Police Department who was looking for him.

He picked it up. On the other side of the receiver, Brother Memu's voice sounded a little excited. The investigation seemed to have made significant progress: "We found the tall, thin man wearing sunglasses!"

"So fast?" Jiang Xia found that the police seemed to have a unique talent in collecting one of three suspects.

The Megure Police Department chuckled: "That person has a criminal record. That guy's name is Shiro Hiraoka. He usually likes to dig up internal information of various companies and then find them for blackmail.

"Unlike many of his colleagues, he will ask for money based on the financial limit of the other party. He wants to suck the marrow of the company dry and will never let go of his prey. Because of this, the industry even gave him a nickname, 'Piranha' Ping Gang'."

Jiang Xia remembered the photos taken in Curaçao under Conan's guidance: "From the photos, Mr. Ping Gang seems to be quite young. With so many criminal records, his sentence is very few years?"

"Uh..." Speaking of this, the Memu Police Department was a little embarrassed, "That guy is too cautious when it comes to hacking. We haven't found enough evidence to bring him to justice. He has a criminal record because he appeared in a casino. He was caught for gambling. Later, someone came to us and said he suspected that he was the piranha, but in the end due to lack of evidence, we were not able to prosecute him."

Jiang Xia: "..." Gambling? The business is quite broad.

The Megure Police Department suddenly had an idea: "In this case, everything is connected. President Ishimoto, who asked you to protect him, although he has a bad temper and a tough temper, according to our investigation, he is unexpectedly very law-abiding. .

"I'm afraid that the piranha wanted to take advantage of President Ishimoto, but he couldn't find a reason to do it. Instead, he was humiliated. So he became angry and sent a threatening letter to President Ishimoto. But on the other hand, he is just a hacker after all, and his marksmanship is really good. It was very bad, so when I sneaked to the lighting platform to take aim in the dark, I accidentally killed the congressman."

Jiang Xia encouraged him: "It sounds pretty good."

The Mumu Police Department said seriously: "You must be careful. Although that guy is not very skilled, I don't know where he got the gun. Although I have no contact with him, all kinds of evidence show that he is a criminal who must be punished." Outsiders."

Jiang Xia nodded, originally trying to reassure him, but halfway through, he suddenly remembered something.

So he slightly changed his words: "Since we have to deal with such a dangerous person, why not give me a temporary gun?"

Although he can also get a gun, carrying it secretly is like walking at night in brocade clothes. It is far less comfortable than crossing the clear road and openly drawing a gun to show off others.

The Mumu Police Department laughed: "If it's another detective, maybe you can operate it and give him a tranquilizer gun, and forget it. But we have body armor here..."

"Goodbye, I will concentrate on guarding President Ishimoto."

Jiang Xia said goodbye politely and hung up the phone: "..." Ha, rigid policeman.

After dismissing the police department, Jiang Xia looked back at the problematic glass of juice on the table, and then at the secretary opposite.

The secretary is clean and has no murderous aura.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, picked up the juice and drank half a glass of juice. However, the secretary's expression remained unchanged. She seemed to be distracted and thinking about other things.

Jiang Xia: "..." It seems that someone else did something to the juice?

At this time, the female secretary's cell phone suddenly rang.

She was startled and picked up the phone. The person opposite said something, and the female secretary was shocked: "Are the autopsy results out? Okay, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, looked at Jiang Xia, and smiled: "Sorry, I have to go too. If you are really bored, you can watch TV for a while, just turn down the volume - President Ishimoto is a very heavy sleeper, unless It’s time to get up, otherwise it will be difficult to wake him up even by setting off firecrackers in his ears, so you don’t have to be too formal tonight.”
